First Claim
1. A fluid ejector (100.2) arranged to eject a fluid drop (2), the fluid drop (2) comprising a drop size (2′
- ), the fluid ejector (100.2) comprising a radio frequency tag (30), the radio frequency tag (30) having a drop size symbol stored therein, thus forming a stored drop size symbol (3), the stored drop size symbol (3) having a value that is based on comparing (505) the drop size (2′
) to n fixed drop sizes, where n is a positive integer whose value is equal to or greater than 1.

Abstract
A fluid ejector includes a drop size symbol that is based on the fluid ejector'"'"'s drop size relative to one or more fixed drop sizes. The drop size symbol is formed by comparing the fluid ejector'"'"'s drop size to the one or more fixed drop sizes. An image forming device includes a marking fluid ejector that includes a drop size symbol based on the marking fluid ejector'"'"'s drop size relative to one or more fixed drop sizes. The image forming device forms an image based on the drop size symbol by determining the drop size symbol and then either selecting a marking fluid look-up table based on the drop size symbol, or forming an image correction factor based on the drop size symbol.
